Nope, doesn't work that way.  The helpdesk doesn't use the 'administrator'
account, but another account set up for them.

Besides, there is no proof that you were the one that changed the password.
Physical security is bound to be lax (otherwise no need for such draconian
computer measures; physical security is the only real security) so pretty
much anyone could have wandered in and changed the password.  That
quasi-legal janitor that can't speak English but seems to understand what
you say ...
